I am 18 years old. I was raised for most of my life in Trenton Ontario. Due to a problematic childhood, when I was 5 years old I lived in Oshawa on welfare with my biological mom and my brother. I got real good at stealing bread. Ha! Just kidding. I stole cars.
Finally when I was 8 years old I came back to Trenton to live with my amazing dad, and got a bonus mom and a bonus little brother. Soon after, my lovely new mom homeschooled me. At this time too I got involved in drama groups and music. I've always loved acting and would love to be involved in film-making from acting and directing to screenwriting. I took singing, drumming and guitar lessons, played the Virgin Mary a dozen times at church, and was part of groups like Spirit Borne Performing Arts and Young Company shows at the Stirling Festival Theatre,
In November 2018, I starting going to an Open Mic night in Stirling ON where Timmy Boyle was entertaining everyone with his stories and interpretive dancing (Don't ask). Having never done stand-up comedy in my life, I thought, "How about I give it a try. I was incredibly nervous but I prepared a comedy set and performed it the next week. As if out of a Disney movie, Timmy Boyle (we'll say he's the Fairy Godmother) came up to me, handed me his business card and said, "Would you like to open my show?" I have now opened 7 of his shows on 3 different tours across Ontario and I have no reason to stop now
